A member of one of Hollywood's oldest families is joining a group of immortal vampires.

Jack's role won't be huge: In Stephenie Meyer's third novel, King is the Depression-era husband of Rosalie Hale, a beautiful woman who is attacked and left for dead. Enter vamp-clan leader Carlisle Cullen, who turns Rosalie into a member of the living dead.

Filming on "Eclipse" begins soon in Vancouver for a June 30, 2010, release.
